title: Usefulness of aneurysm sac angiography in therapeutic management of an endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair.
abstract: Endoleak treatment after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) can be difficult and complex. The key to success lies mostly in the accurate interpretation of imaging tests. We describe the case of a patient who was urgently operated on due to an episode of acute arterial ischemia in the left lower limb for stent-graft iliac limb thrombosis and a proximal type I endoleak. We highlight the importance of performing aneurysm sac angiography as part of an effective therapeutic strategy.
